The technological innovation of Snowsound® and the design of products realised with this special technology have achieved major world recognitions. In the United States, Snowsound® was awarded the “International CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards” considered the most prestigious award for innovation in the field of electronics and audio/video.
Design and designers
Snowsound® acoustic performance takes shape in projects by the great designers. Many shapes and colours are designed to be a visible and distinctive part of the project and to discreetly integrate into the rooms. Resolving acoustic problems, from the simplest to the most complex, with a complete range of products based on a single revolutionary technology is a totally innovative approach.
Single technology,many solutions
An array of acoustic problems, a single solution: Snowsound®. Many shapes, many colours, a large range of support systems with a single technology. Due to its ability to selectively absorb sound frequencies, Snowsound® panels can solve a number of acoustic problems by incorporating other Snowsound® products.
Technology Snowsound®
The brilliant intuition at the heart of Snowsound® patented technology is based on the use of panels composed of material with variable densities, which achieve selective absorption at different frequencies and thus optimise the acoustical environment notwithstanding the thinness of the panels. The absence of frames and seams and the unusual characteristics of the material in the fabrication of the panels, render them extremely light, unobtrusive and adaptable to any environment.
A-The surfaces of the panel are coated with Trevira CS® polyester fabric firmly bonded to the inner wadding with which it forms a single body without a break. This property makes it possible to obtain a surface which, while visually appearing very soft, actually is resistant, difficult to tear or perforate
B-high density polyester;
D-low density polyester;
Acoustic performance A
The panels were tested in a reverberation room according to UNI EN ISO 354 standards obtaining “Class A sound absorption” to UNI EN ISO 11654 standards.
UNI EN ISO 354 measures sound-absorbing power in a reverberation room (Mitesco/Snowsound® panels installed side by side and with an 200 mm rear air space).
Decibels reduction
Snowsound® technology was tested in the semi-anechoic lab at the University of Ferrara to measure the sound attenuation according to the ISO 10053 standard. The measurements were conducted with variety of configurations and demonstrate Snowsound® significant capacity for sound attenuation. Performance was recorded at the various frequencies. The results of the tests represent another important design tool available to industry professionals.
